General Paediatrics

---

All children require paediatric care from the moment they're born, sometimes even during delivery. As a paediatrician in Johannesburg, my goal is to support your child’s health with a complete care plan that tracks their growth, development, nutrition, activity, and any conditions that arise.

I provide complete general paediatric services for children ages 6 days old to 13 years. Each stage of life is unique and requires specialised care, but the goal is to maintain your little one's health. Should there be any issues beyond my scope, I will refer you to a trusted specialist in Johannesburg.

Routine check-ups

Regular visits with a paediatrician in Johannesburg are necessary at specific intervals from when your baby is born until five years. Thereafter, you can schedule check-ups if your child has a chronic condition, if you have any concerns, or when you feel it is necessary.

During these check-ups, I evaluate all elements of your child's health, including their development, growth, nutrition, neurodevelopment, behaviour and milestones. As a paediatrician in Johannesburg, I also encourage you to bring up any concerns about your child, and I will listen and advise where possible.

Growth and development

The first few years of life are essential for setting up your child's development. Therefore, I pride myself on providing complete growth and development tracking as a paediatrician in Johannesburg to ensure that your child is in line with the typical development and growth rates.

To do this, I perform a complete evaluation of your little one from the top of their head right down to the tips of their toes, taking into account the following:

• Your child's weight and height
• Your child's head circumference
• Joint mobility
• Bone health
• Behaviour
• Nutrition and allergies

Nutrition

Your little one's diet plays a vital role in their development and needs to be monitored closely for signs of food allergies and gut health issues.

I, a paediatrician in Johannesburg, am here to support you and your child during breastfeeding and/or bottle feeding and advise on nutrition habits. Then, as your child gets older and is introduced to solid foods, we can assess the best options for them and prevent harmful habits, such as picky eating.

Emergency consultations

As a paediatrician in Johannesburg and a mother of three little ones, I know that accidents happen, and you can't control when your child is sick. My practice is open for emergencies when your child shows extreme distress, such as fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, pain, cough, etc.

Get in touch a paediatrician in Johannesburg for an appointment, and I will try to accommodate your little one to diagnose and treat their symptoms.
